Overall, I am impressed by the academic and non-confrontational tone that most of you have adopted on your blogs and comments. Please continue to express your views in an academic, thoughtful, sensitive and cooperative manner. The second group of articles to choose from is posted below. As before, your response should be between 300 and 400 words. You should explain the article's ideas and your reaction to those ideas. The goal is to communicate your ideas in an academic manner. That means you should use appropriate vocabulary and support your claims as much as possible.
